"dismayed" not "displayed"
I took the working app build on a Mac and compared it to the broken app
built on Windows. I discovered that
Contents/FrameWorks/SDL_mixer.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/mikmod.framework
is empty in the broken app.
I tested tar.exe from the command line, and discovered that when it
unpacks ohrrpgce-mac.minimal.tar it incorrectly unpacks several of the
subfolders into the current directory, instead of where they belong
under the OHRRPGCE-Game.app folder heirarchy.
So the short answer is that this bug is, yet again, another instance of
the windows port of tar.exe being a worthless piece of crap :(
